LMNA Missense Mutation Causes Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay and Severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy
20 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background: LMNA is a known causative gene of dilated cardiomyopathy and familial conduction disturbance. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, normally caused by nonsense mutations, is a safeguard process to protect cells from deleterious effects of inappropriate proteins from mutated genes. Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay induced by nonstop codon mutations is rare. We investigated the effect of an LMNA missense mutation...
